Could someone please explain to me why pet parents think it is okay NOT to pick up their dog's poop when they are at the off-leash dog park? Is it because they are not sure which pile of poop actually was left by their pooch or perhaps they think that since it is public property and not private, the city is somehow responsible for cleaning up the messes. Whatever the thinking, I can assure you it is inappropriate and irresponsible to ignore your dog's excrement when he goes to the bathroom at the park.

I can't believe how prevalent this problem is but with the New Year here, let's all make a resolution to ALWAYS clean up after our dogs whether at the dog park or anywhere else.
